Survey For Book on Startup Boards

  • Comments (-)

I’m working on a book with Mahendra Ramsinghani called “Startup Boards” where we are trying to provide clear best practices for how the boards of startup companies should work. You may recognize Mahendra’s name – he wrote The Business of Venture Capital which I reviewed recently.

This book is part of my continuous effort to dramatically improve startup company boards. I’ve been on hundreds of boards and have been to thousands (or tens of thousands) of board meetings and way too many of them are bored meetings instead of productive sessions consisting of the leaders, owners, and board members for a company.

Give us a hand and take 5 to 10 minutes to fill out our survey on Startup Boards. It can be anonymous or include you name and email if you are willing to be interviewed in more depth.

    Good stuff! Regarding “# of VC Firms on Board” — can’t select 0? Should it read “Investors” instead?

      Oops – good feedback.

    Brad thanks for sinking your time into this topic.  There are great nuggets of information on how to drive a great board meeting out there but they are spread to the wind.

    It will be great to see you tie these best practices for board meetings into one single resource like you did with Venture Deals.

    Thank you ahead of time!

    You’re on a roll with the books Brad! This sounds great… have you got any thoughts on Steve Blank’s recent discussion on the topic? http://steveblank.com/2011/06/01/why-board-meetings-suck-%E2%80%93-part-1-of-2/
